FEATURES FOR THE WEEK
Tuesday 07/27/04
FRITZ HEEDE & JOHN BANKS: ILLUMINATED PSYCHEDELIA
Animated DVDs usually have pedestrian images or derivative, canned music, but Fritz Heede and John Banks' DVD, ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS, defies that precedent. The disc is full of surreal, images that morph and flow one into the other creating a world of fantasy and light where doors open into glistening vistas and chairs are swallowed by vines. Fritz Heede's music follows suit with a delirious, eastern-inspired swirl of propulsive hand drum rhythms, ambient moods and melodies that spin like a dervish refracted in time. We create a sonic journey into the surreal world of Illuminated Manuscripts with Fritz Heede and John Banks.

Wednesday 07/28/04
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ACOUSTIC EIDOLON.
Eidolon means a phantom or an image of an ideal. The duo called Acoustic Eidolon subscribe to the latter definition and when they appear in the Echoes living room, they are definitely not an apparition. We'll hear Acoustic Eidolon, the couple of Joe Scott and Hannah Alkire, entwine their guitjo, a guitar-banjo hybrid, and cello in their intricate, chamber music sound, live on Echoes.

Thursday 07/29/04
AIR: RETRO-FUTURIST SEX AND SOUND
Air is the innovative French band who came to renown in 1998 with their album MOON SAFARI. They recently released their third full-length CD, TALKIE WALKIE (Astralwerks), which explores themes of love and moods of retro-futurism. We talk with Nicholas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel about their nostalgic look at love and creating scores for films like Lost in Translation.

Friday 07/30/04
LANTERNA: AMBIENT AMERICANA
Lanterna is Henry Frayne, a guitarist from Champaign, Illinois who creates an evocative, haunting sound based in the twang of countryfied guitar fed through delays and reverb. His album, HIGHWAYS (Bad Man) was Echoes' CD of the Month for March. Henry Frayne enters the Echoes Living Room, where he reveals roots that go back to Revox tape machines and gothic rock.
